The votes of hundreds of thousands of unaffiliated Rhode Island voters are up for grabs in the state's presidential primary.

Of five states holding primaries Tuesday, it's the only one where independent voters can select either the Democratic or Republican ballot. Half of Rhode Island's registered voters don't belong to either party.

Twenty-four of the state's 33 Democratic delegates, and 16 of the state's 19 Republican delegates, will be chosen.
